What are the pros and cons of doing an MBA from FMS Delhi University?

S
Sagardeep Posted On : January 10th, 2023
Studied at Faculty of Management Studies, University of Delhi

There's no point in going over the usual benefits like placements, good professors, university infrastructure and fees, and so on. However, it is critical to consider some genuine and neutral arguments in favor of IIMs (at least in Ahmedabad, Bangalore, and Calcutta).

  • When making decisions, many B-school aspirants mention ROI. The wealth maximization theory provides the NPV method, which is superior to the rate of return theory. Your future cash flows are indeed influenced by your B-school, and the difference is usually large enough to outweigh the outflow in year zero.
  • An important question to ask yourself is, "Are you doing an MBA to save money or to add value?" If the latter is your answer, you should be prepared to pay a reasonable price for it.
  • There's a reason people like the IIM label. It still carries some clout in the market. In terms of B-school brand value, an IIM has a faster growth rate. As a result, there is a chance that FMS will lose to IIM IKS in the next 10-15 years.
  • Having a subsidized university education comes with its own set of costs. Placements are completely student-led. There is no credit system, which makes student exchange difficult. For FMS, the semester system is the norm, which has its own drawbacks.

Is an MBA from JBIMS better than SP Jain from a placement point of view?

AS
Anubhuti Shekhar Posted On : February 28th, 2023
M.M.S. from Jamnalal Bajaj Institute of Management Studies (Graduated 2014)

From the point of view of batch strength, JBIMS has a smaller batch size of 120 students, while SP Jain has a larger batch size of 300 students. The list of companies visiting both campuses is similar, but due to the smaller batch size at JBIMS, the options available per student are higher, resulting in better placement opportunities.

In terms of cost, JBIMS has a lower fee structure of approximately 1 lakh per year, while the fees at SP Jain can reach 10 lakhs per year when including all expenses. This results in a higher return on investment for JBIMS.

In terms of the quality of education, both colleges are equally good, but it is important not to only consider the quality of education when making a decision. Networking opportunities should also be taken into consideration, and JBIMS offers strong networking opportunities due to its strong alumni base.

In conclusion, both colleges offer great placement opportunities and it is up to personal preference and individual circumstances to determine the best option.

JBIMS saw a significant increase in average salary in 2022, rising over 20% to INR 27.63 LPA. The median CTC was INR 26.48 LPA, and the highest salary offered was INR 42 LPA. Consulting firms were a major presence during the placement drive, with companies such as Deloitte, EY, PwC, Accenture, Infosys, and KPMG among the top recruiters.

During the SPJIMR Placements 2022 Report, 75 recruiters visited the campus, with top companies including Accenture, Aditya Birla Capital, Amazon, and American Express. PGDM students received 123 PPOs/PPIs, with the highest salary offered at INR 53.16 LPA and an average salary of INR 32.06 LPA.

What is your experience of doing MBA at LIBA Loyola College in Chennai?

VA
Vishakha Advani Posted On : September 29th, 2021
Studied at Loyola Institute of Business Administration (2016)

One of my cousins graduated from Loyola. His experience at Loyola Institute of Business Administration (LIBA) is quite good. First of all, I will have to answer based on my current interactions with the faculty and some of the students.

  • My friend has been fairly active concerning the alumni meetings and has met most of the professors and quite a few students.
  • There is one marked difference between the time my friend studied there and now, that is the significant improvement in the facilities.
  • There is a proper hostel, the entire campus is wi-fi enabled and the auditorium and other facilities are pretty much as good as it gets. 
  • The classes are like any other college. 
  • There is a mix of full-time and guest faculty; they also do not follow any particular schedule when it comes to guest speakers.
  • Try not to compare it to an IIM. Though the standards are definitely above average and better.
  • There is still a vibe of a laid-back environment here when comparing them to a B school like XLRI.
Categories MBA at LIBA
Course Fee 1.68 lakh
Highest CTC 20 LPA
Average CTC 10-12 PA
Recruiting Companies CTS, Tech Mahindra, Byju’s, Accenture, etc.

Apart from software companies picking up people for their consulting teams - Cognizant, etc. The industry presence in Chennai is not the same as in Mumbai. Overall, it could be one of the good options among other average-performing colleges.

What is the package offered to freshers in MBA from NMIMS Mumbai?

DC
Dheeraj Chabra Posted On : February 28th, 2023
MBA (Part Time) from SVKM's NMIMS (Graduated 2021)

My friend was an Engineering fresher student at NMIMS and was very satisfied with the placements of freshers at NMIMS.

Summer placements 

During the summer placements freshers are most preferred by sales and marketing companies, especially FMCGs. Even big finance companies hire freshers. The students whether freshers or work experience are preferred on the basis of the individual requirements of the companies which keep changing. So the placement is proportionate and no distinction is made.

Final placements 

The final placements take place in 2 stages. The lateral placements are for 24 months and then executive placements are for people having less than 2 years of experience.

Packages offered

During the summer placements, freshers are offered PPOs which are hefty packages. However, for Final Placements, companies do consider work experience and thus experienced ones tend to land better packages than freshers. But the entire scenario is quite unpredictable as I have seen freshers receive the highest package as well as the lowest package. Placements depend on your overall profile which includes your grades and your luck too!

How is Lucknow University particularly for MBA?

AT
Ajita Sharma Thukran Posted On : September 30th, 2021
Studies MBA (Business Analytics) at IIM Ahmedabad,2023

If you are trying to make an appearance in the corporate world, then stepping into a university with prospects as much as what Lucknow University has would not necessarily turn out good at the end of the day. 

There is a broader reason why:

  • Choosing to pursue an intensive course like MBA might not be fruitful if you opt for a particularly obscure university.
  • The professors of the university can be highly qualified and professional in what they have done until now. 
  • Lucknow University has not quite sntached the attention, when placements are considered.
  • The pedagogy of the faculty is undoubtedly exceptional, but the administration does not take responsibility for placement opportunities.

If you are particularly focusing on your academic credentials, besides your location tethered to Lucknow itself, then Lucknow University can be a good choice; but in no case otherwise. 

It is best that you reach out to several faculty members of the institute closely attached to Lucknow University, for better guidance regarding your course structure.

How is the MBA at sibm Bangalore?

UB
Udita Bose Posted On : July 17th, 2021
SIBM Bengaluru (2018)

SIBM Bengaluru is based in south India. It falls under the same category as of FORE School of Management, IFRM Chennai. In terms of placement, ROI, and Faculty, it is one of the top three business schools in Bengaluru.

It has grown rapidly since its inception and has been performing well in its 21 years of existence.

Placement statistics - 2021:

  • Highest CTC: INR 32 LPA
  • Average CTC: INR 10. 60 LPA
  • Median CTC: INR 10 LPA

Academics:

  • It follows a similar academic curriculum as of Symbiosis University. What makes it stand out is the presence of eight Bloomberg terminals.
  • It follows a blend of classroom sessions, presentations, and case studies of Harvard Business School as well as Iver Publications for which it has subscribed, to teach and impart knowledge to its students.
  • Every day is a new learning experience with the well-experienced faculty. They encourage new ideas and promote interactive sessions.

Location:

Another plus point is its location. It provides exposure to the corporate world because of its location in the IT hub.

The batch sizes are small. It has 10 committees and 11 clubs that work on encouraging students on participating and getting involved in college fests and other events, which clearly justifies that it is a student-centric college.
